Menu: December 13-19

It's another frigid week here so lots more comfort foods on the menu. I will also be doing some baking (both to help warm the house and make for some comforting breakfasts).

Meals

• Cream of Chicken & Rice Soup (I plan to work on this recipe a bit to make it lower in calorie/fat than as written) and dinner rolls
• Biscuits & gravy (I will be using turkey sausage and skim milk to help cut down on fat) with cheesy scrambled eggs and a fresh fruit salad
• Swedish Meatballs over No Yolks egg noodles and a side of mixed veggies - to cut down on the fat in the meatballs, I will use 85% lean ground beef, turkey sausage instead of the pork, and half and half instead of the heavy cream.
• Baked chicken breast, mashed potatoes, veggies, and dinner rolls
• We are hosting a mystery dinner for our College/Career's Christmas party. But maybe you could make some Calzones. Mmmm...

Baking

• Chocolate Chip Banana Bread (one of the munchkins' faves) 
• Pumpkin Muffins/Bread
• Cinnamon Raisin Bread - growing up, cinnamon raisin bread was always a special treat as we only got it when it was on sale at the bread outlet, but it is my favorite for toast at breakfast.
